Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method and system for improving the monitoring of the external environment of a motor vehicle. According to the invention, the vehicle (1) comprises a built-in system for detecting objects with which it is susceptible to collide, within a surveillance area (A) covering a blind spot, comprising a capturing device for acquiring images that are representative of one or more objects (2) located within said area (A) and an electronic system for processing and analyzing input signals. The inventive method comprises the automatic activation of an infrared light source to emit infrared light towards the surveillance area (A) when the images acquired don't make possible a processing and an analysis providing a result that would reliably detect a determined object (2), and the automatic deactivation of said infrared light source when the acquired images produce a correct result without the need for infrared light. In addition, the system comprises a module with an infrared light source.
